I have a GT 130M in my notebook and I am running full graphics just fine in native drivers and GeForce drivers (GeForce work better in my system) and I was wondering if there is any CUDA drivers or support for my model GPU? My GPU supports CUDA but in System Settings > CUDA, it shows that the GPU is not supported. I am running my GPU under DSDT (works just fine without the DSDT patch for the GPU, I just added it for better performance, but it seems to work the same either way, just the detected name is different and some data isn't detected [without DSDT patch device comes up as "HP GeForce GT 130M" and with DSDT it comes up as "nVidia GeForce GT 130M" with device ID's and PCI slot connection]). I don't really need the driver YET, but since I am gonna want to do video editing and 3D animation, I'm sure CUDA would help very much. If its not supported or there is no way to get it to work, then please guide me on how to uninstall?

Try installing one of the CUDA drivers here. If it doesn't work, CUDA isn't supported on OS X with this GPU.

Your GPU is not on this list: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus so the answer is no

It is not on that list, but the product page for the 130M says that it is CUDA enabled http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-130m

As an example, the Quadro 600 that is in my A57 Thinkcentre has CUDA technology enabled but it is not shown on that list.

 

So I suppose one of them is wrong, and there's only one way to find out...

This is the latest CUDA driver which supports the older GPUs compute model 1.x:

V: 6.5.51, Release Date: 2015.04.21

http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-6.5.51-driver.html    

 
But it not supports El Capitan, Sierra.

All newer CUDA drivers need newer GPUs with hiher compute level (gpu compute features!!!

 

Maybe you can get it installed (and working) at least for El Capitan if you install it with pacifist. Normal way with the pkg installer will fail i tzhink nvidia checks the OS version and tells "No,..."
